Moderator Guidelines
Moderator Guidelines
- Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
- Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
- When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
- Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
- Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
- Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
- Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
- Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
- Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
- Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
- Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
- Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
- First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
- Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
- No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
- Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
- Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.

It wasn't that long ago that women wearing pants was considered to be wrong. Wome used to be arrested in the US for wearing pants.

I had to fight my own father for the right to wear pants growing up. And you see people online today who still argue that women shouldn't be "allowed" to wear pants.
"I can't keep my dick in my pants when I see the shape of a woman's crotch and it's your fault"
Oh there was a lot of that when I was growing up. My Dad was a big fan of Rush Limbaugh.

It's completely arbitrary how clothing got associated to gender over the course of history.
I remember numerous instances where skirts were seen as manly, iirc the scottish and the romans had that notion. I think pants as we have them today were only introduced around 1800? Because they are more difficult to manufacture and were developed mostly for blue-collar workers as protective clothing.
The northern "barbarians" wore pants even in roman times. The romans were agast (TBF, I wouldn't want to wear pants in Italy's climate, either). Since then there has been a bit of back-and-forth.
"Yes I am, and wearing the skirt gives my boyfriend easy access 😎"
I'm not gay because I'm wearing a skirt. I mean I am gay. But not because I'm wearing a skirt!
In the 00’s I started wearing nail polish. I wasn't sure "why", but I liked it, so f other people's opinions.
People thought I was gay. I was bi, but gay guys didn't find nail polish attractive either, so this was a constant refrain.
(Took me until 2020 to realize I was trans)
It's not a sprint it's a marathon 🙏
Scots laugh in light breeze gently swaying their skirt. And jewels underneath.
Why are true neutral, chaotic neutral and neutral evil all the word “ok” though?
I like how this means men are lawful neutral, women are lawful evil and skirts are chaotic good.
Women fought for the right to wear pants. Men haven't put in the effort yet for the right to wear skirts.
And there are still those, who stigmatize women for not wearing skirts.
"yeah but not in the way you're thinking"
As a cis man I'm jealous.
You can just wear the skirt, be the change you want to see in the world
Find your heritage/district tartan and you can wear any skirt you want!

Just wear that skirt bro.
It has to have your tartan on it. Then it's a kilt, and it's fine.

Yeeeah when I was growing up there were still old people who went tut tut over us little girls wearing pants and shorts. Dinguses.
Or maybe Scottish?????

Why sad you can wear anything :)

Afraid of being perceived as ok?
no..,.
Groundskeeper Willie would like a word.
idk how we fucked up, I blame Victorian England. Men used to be able to wear dresses and skirts without any issues, and then we decided to strictly adhere to suits. I wish I could find tunics still in stores.
I wonder why femboys and transfems like wearing skirts now.
Is it because these skirts are inherently feminine, and thus it better matches the personality of the person? Or is it because society connects skirts to women, and want to be shoved into the "woman" category by wearing skirts?
I wear them partly because they help me express the (locally, socially constructed) femininity that I feel. I also wear them partly because I have serious trouble tucking, and a flowy skirt is less of a problem than tights. Which is a shame, because my legs look fine in tights.

Third (horny) answer: easy access.
Gender is almost unarguably entirely a social construct. Two seconds in a history book shows this to be true.
It's a learned framework. But with in that framework we have associated sex with gender so intrinsically that separating the two is near impossible outside of a science context. At least in a modern context. This can vary depending on the region and point in history.
So with how linked they are you have skirts to female(gender) in that framework. If you want to identity as female (sex), then you will gravitate to the female gender(gender) clothing options. As a short hand. It's not the only way but it is undeniable that it is one of the easiest.
It's just working with the tools, behaviours and context of the reality around you
Third option: male fashion fucking sucks?
Fourth option: anatomically, skirts make more sense for penis-havers than pants (though there's a reason why kilts traditionally include a pouch, which might be an issue when penis-havers want to dress in women's skirts or dresses).
nobody can stop me and my freedom in my running kilt
